Abstract

The environmental performance of modern corporations faces compromise due to administrative practices, resulting in insufficient attention to corporate social responsibility (CSR). This lack of consideration within organizational frameworks underscores the imperative for a heightened commitment to CSR initiatives, as they play a pivotal role in fostering sustainability and responsible business practices. The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship among renewable energy (RE), humanistic culture (HC), green knowledge (GK), CSR, and corporate environmental performance (CEP) in the Pakistani retail sector. The research aspires to unravel the moderating influence of environmental sustainability (ES) and explore the plausible mediating function of CSR. This study’s research design was quantitative. The sample consisted of a diverse range of organizations operating in Pakistan’s industrial, services, retail, and information technology sectors. A purposive sampling technique was employed to pick a representative sample of organizations. In this research, the participants consisted of senior managers, executives, and personnel who held positions of responsibility for environmental management and CSR efforts inside their respective organizations. The selected organizations were given standardized questionnaires to collect data. The hypothesis was examined by the application of the structural equation modeling approach (SEM) using IBM, SPSS, and AMOS software. The research findings show that there are statistically significant and robust relationships between RE, HC, GK, CSR, and CEP. The study also concludes that CSR serves as a positive mediator in the connections between RE and CEP, HC and CEP, and GK and CEP. Further, the results of the study underscore the need for integrating sustainability practices into CSR programs. The environmental sustainability plays a crucial role in enhancing the relationship between CSR and CEP. This paper provides helpful advice for businesses looking to incorporate CSR, RE, and sustainable development into their operations
